    Is it time to start fading Cowherd?

    Cowherds blazing 5 have been killing it this year. He is hitting at an unbelievable rate. I haven't been fading him but I think I might start this week. He has to come back to earth sooner or later, right?

    Haven't paid a lot of attention to his picks recently, but he was on the same type of tear a couple of years ago.

    Dolphins at Colts (+2.5)
    Buccaneers (+1.5) at Raiders
    Vikings at Seahawks (-4)
    Steelers (+3.5) at Giants
    Cowboys (+4) at Falcons

    I generally like the guy and his commentary, but I thought the same thing. Let's see how it shakes out. The only thing I don't agree with him on in NFL (lately?) is Green Bay. He's dead wrong about Chicago being better, a topic which he has harped on but I find strange. Green Bay can't run? They are now the offense of old. They are running on a very good D today, Arizona.

    I faded the only early game. The Colts. It appears that one could still go either way though.

    I agree, that's why I didn't. I've been on fire lately and I seem to be mostly right today, but the last two weeks just felt weird with strange matchups, so I'm content to take a couple weeks off even if it means missing a few winners that would extend the streak. Usually when this happens I look into halftimes or totals more ...

    Looks like the answer to this question is, "not yet."

    He is 3-0 on the day and is within range of being 4-0 if Pitt covers. Crazy. He would most likely be winning the Hilton Supercontest lol and he is a national radio guy on ESPN...

    Can't make it up!

    He's on a crazy run. The only game i disagreed w/ him on was the Colts and he proved to be the better capper than I.

    Why do you hate his show? I think he's one of the more lucid voices in the cesspool of sports talk radio.

    Yeah, I like his show too. Obviously don't agree with him on everything but of all the ESPN radio shows his is hands down the best.

    Cowherd is great at picking winners in both football and basketball.

    Each game he picks is completely independent of the next. The fact that he is hot now does not make it any more likely he will have a bad stretch sooner than at any other time. Fade with caution.

    yeah i get variance and all that but why in the world would you even consider fading ANYONE as long as they continue winning?

    if he goes 1-4 one week that's when you start if at all
